I am sure this has been covered at sometime but the Eldest will be stationed in Calif, for the next two years. He has three weapons to the best of my knowledge. Two long guns and one pistol. What are his concerns regarding the pistol?

have him look at the handgun flowchart to determine if it is legal to possess in CA. Same for the long guns.

If any of them are determined to be AWs, he can get a Military Assault Weapons Permit to possess those AWs while he is PCS'ed in CA.

But he won't be able to import any large capacity magazines that he did not possess in CA before 2000.

Shotgun and lever action long gun unless he has figured out a way to bring a souvenir home from Afghanistan. The pistol is a Kimber he also will be taking delivery on a Sig. custom ordered for his unit. Models I am not sure of but I am sure the magazine capacity will be a problem. I will tell him when he gets home.

....has to be registered. I believe that military are not required to register the pistols they bring in. It in the DOJ Faq section if I remember right.
